“Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1.17)
“His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears; but with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, and faithfulness the belt of His waist.” (Isaiah 11.3-5)
“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.” (Galatians 6.8-10)
This is for real (but has been hidden for I don’t know how long) that demons live in this house. It is the wildest things to see them possess people here. For four days now, I have personally witnessed them make things go insane here. I have heard of similar stories on the mission field, but I think if I weren’t here to see it with my own eyes that I wouldn’t believe it to be true.
Here’s what’s been going down. First an email went out about me to 500 people. Their task is to pray me out of this house. Since that time, I have seen Xiao Fei turn against me and live and act by Ray’s law. Only when I prayed for her in my heart did she stop being demon possessed and act with love and kindness like the old Xiao Fei.
The kids have been super emotional way more than the normal. I truly think that it is an attempt by Satan to get me frustrated rather than continue to turn to Jesus and plead for help. They were sleeping through the night and well health-wise. Several had/have badly running noses, lots of congestion, and fevers now. A major diaper rash that was healed is now back on strong. And somehow, Rebecah got an injured shoulder while sleeping through the night. James is now sucking his thumb, and Hannah is telling me to go home; both love me, and this shows me that they are going backwards. Blaza is too; he scavenged for food last night in a major way.
Aside from those things, several things have stopped working. My digital camera won’t work, my phone is acting up badly, and the toilet nearly overflowed and then wouldn’t flush properly several times yesterday. It might seem silly, but I prayed for it (the toilet), and it started working after that. :) The biggest thing that’s stopped working is the computer. It suddenly started getting run time errors and didn’t work quickly. The guy has come twice to fix it. This means that Ray can’t see or talk with the kids and folks here; that really aggravates him and adds fuel to fire from the adversary.
On a personal note, my phone not working well and the computer not working means that the Punk (Satan) is keeping others from being able to know about the situation to pray. I am hoping that those things will end soon, but it definitely teaches me all the more why China is so full of darkness. Praise Papa that His Spirit is bigger and stronger and has let me communicate with some others about the situation, so thankfully that more folks in the Family could fight on my side – the side of Victory!
Last night, I decided to anoint the rooms of the house with oil and pray. I was hearing the demons within the house as I literally have for four days now. That was at 2:30 in the morning after staying up late to prove myself a worthy worker here and show Blaza, Xiao Fei, and Grandma the love. I had peace more and more as I prayed out the demons in each of the rooms and blessed this house and its people.
Just as I lay down and was about to fall asleep, James came in my room very scared. I am really wondering if he is not only sensitive in the natural but also in the spiritual like little Samuel in the temple. Little James loves to pray and learn about Jesus with me. He will be greatly used to share the Gospel with others in China I know. Well, I comforted James and stayed up to get him back to sleep until almost four. That is okay because though I desired sleep I was willing to stay up however long needed out of love to Jesus and James. He will always be in my heart, and I wonder if I could ever adopt him. I know he’d love it! :) (James: Amanda, come back.)
I actually don’t know what time I finally fell asleep because after James went to sleep I went back to my room and prayed and rejoiced for a long while. I guess it must have been between 5 and 6 AM. I haven’t gotten much sleep here since I came and am eating less and less. The need to forsake food and sleep to simply pray is truly that great! It is the power from Jesus that will make this sad situation become good like Joseph’s story and time in Egypt. Rest assured in my heart, I am resolute that LOVE will win out and that HIS victory for those here is coming!
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints. And pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in proclaiming it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible love.” (Ephesians 6.10-20, 24)
